Latest updates on industry open standards for portable accelerated vision processing and inferencing, and insights into the goals and design directions of the new Kamaros embedded camera API Standard.

Beaverton, Oregon. As an open group promoting the advancement of interoperability standards, the Khronos Group, created the SYCL SC Working Group for high-level heterogeneous computing framework. SYCL SC members will push toward streamlining certification of safety-critical systems in automotive, avionics, medical, and industrial markets. The group is open to any Khronos member, with membership open to all.

The Khronos Group announced that its glTF 2.0 specification for the efficient transmission and loading of 3D models has been released as the ISO/IEC 12113:2022 International Standard.

Imagination Technologies and the Khronos® Group are holding the Khronos and Imagination Seminar in Shanghai, a developer event highlighting the rapidly evolving software-hardware ecosystem and the opportunities for GPU technology, open-source standards, and open API interfaces across mobile gaming, automotive and cloud.  

The Metaverse Standards Forum brings together leading standards organizations and companies for industry-wide cooperation on interoperability standards needed to build the open metaverse. The Forum will explore where the lack of interoperability is holding back metaverse deployment and how the work of Standards Developing Organizations (SDOs) defining and evolving needed standards may be coordinated and accelerated.

The need for graphics and compute acceleration in embedded markets is growing. Cameras and sensor arrays are increasingly central to many use cases in diverse industries ranging from automotive to industrial and are generating increasingly rich data streams that require sophisticated processing.

On this episode of Embedded Insiders, Brandon and Rich recap a recent visit to DesignCon 2022, where Brandon highlights one of the embedded engineering industry’s rising stars, the Compute Express Link open standard.
